She Believes Summit and the USWNT

We saw the USWNT in Seattle for the first time in many years. Unfortunately, they lost to JP in horrible conditions. The next day was the She Believes Summit which was amazing. It was a series of inspirational speakers - star athletes, business people, government leaders - coming together to support women's sports and network. We got free breakfast and lunch. We saw stars like Hilary Knight, Julie Foudy, Emma Hayes, Melinda French Gates. Julia got to meet Coach Jackie and another influencer and she had a lunch conversation with Rough and Tumble founder Jen Barnes (who would love to hire her if she were 18). It was incredible!

Julia visits the Yukon for EBC

The Yukon is a province in Canada near Alaska. That was the destination for Julia's EBC trip. She learned about the environment, first nations people, and lots of wildlife.

Utah Road Trip and the White Rim Trail

Joanna met up with Karen and Bob for a night out in Vegas. We won $60 in video poker. Joanna had to put the breaks on grandma and grandpa who wanted to keep gambling. The next day we embarked on a Utah parks road trip. We went to Zion and hiked the narrows. We hiked along the rim in Bryce. We met up with John in Moab. John biked the White Rim trail (over 100 miles) in one day while Joanna drove the jeep to support. It was amazingly beautiful. The jeep road was terrifying, with technical expertise required and 2000 foot drops. Karen and Bob toured Arches on their own. We zoomed from Moab to Boise to home in 2 days. What a beautiful part of the country!

John has retired!

Congrats to John on an incredibly accomplished career. He influenced so many people as a leader and a friend. Everyone had really nice things to say and he received many gifts. We didn't get photos, unfortunately. His plans now include cycling, house projects, teaching, learning, and travel.

Sun Valley

Joanna headed to Sun Valley again with Kathryn, Beth, and Susie. We had 2 days of spring skiing and lots of other fun. It was warm but ok snow, considering. What a treat!
